This name change affects this classroom only. As the system administrator, you can change a person's "centralized name", that is, the name that appears on their login page, from the View/modify/delete users link on the administrator's menu. |
The Alias setting determines how the user will be known within Manhattan's Anonymous Discussion module. Most teachers who use the Anonymous Discussion module leave this set to "anonymous" for all students. Another possibility is to change the teacher's Alias setting to their real name, so their messages within the Anonymous Discussion module are not anonymous at all. The use of the Anonymous Discussion module is explored in Manhattan's Teacher's Reference
Manhattan's Team Discussion and Team/Teacher Discussion modules depend on the ability to assign students to teams. This form, pictured above, allows you to change the team assignment for students one at a time. (Also see Assign teams) A student can be assigned to one of twenty-six teams, labeled A through Z. If the teacher does not plan to use teams, you can leave all students set to team A.
